Struct AbortOnDrop

pub struct AbortOnDrop(pub &'static str);

Zero-sized struct that calls std::process::abort() if dropped

This is useful to make code exception safe. If there is a region that must not panic for safety reasons, you can use this to prevent further unwinding, at least.

Before aborting, the provided string is printed. If the guarded code in the example panics, FATAL: Foo panicked. Aborting. will be printed to stderr.

Example

let panic_guard = AbortOnDrop("Foo panicked.");
// ... code that might panic ...
panic_guard.defuse();
